About

sfz prompt is an evolution of lean prompt which itself is a rewrite of pure.

Features:

Defaults to a sparse setup, only showing information needed at the moment.
When tmux is active it shows a yellow ™. If you don't want this indicator, you can set PROMPT_SFZ_TMUX="".
Show remote host if logged in through SSH.
All in one line, most stuff in the right prompt, leaving the left prompt clean.
Shows background jobs.
Show git repo status indicators.
Shortens path in fish shell style, to disable this set PROMPT_SFZ_PATH_UNTRUNCATED=1.
Shows execution time of long jobs. This defaults to 5 seconds but can be changed by settings PROMPT_SFZ_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME.

sfz starts with only 2 characters on the screen:

~ §

All other information is omitted and shown only when needed.

Instalation

You can install the prompt in the standard zsh way by adding the prompt_sfz_setup file to your $fpath and running prompt sfz somewhere in your .zshrc. For example, you could clone this repo and run:

ln -s /path/to/this/repo/prompt_sfz_setup $HOME/.zsh/.zfunctions/prompt_sfz_setup

And in your .zshrc add:

fpath=( "$HOME/.zsh/.zfunctions" $fpath )
prompt sfz

Alternatively if you use zgen you can add the following to your ~/.zshrc:

zgen load mreinhardt/sfz-prompt.zsh

Then you can force reload zgen with zgen reset && source ~/.zshrc.
